Okay here ya go buddy. Dont take offence to this, as some may seem harsh but its for your own design worthy sence. (if that made any sence)

Im going to do all of them in this post...bare with me.

The banner:
Good Points: I like the monotone color.
Worst Points:

- Though the main background is good with the monotone color, its stretched. Try instead of fitting it just to the picture, why not scale it. Though it may not be able to see 100% of everything, you still will be able to see something without distorting it super bad.

- I like the font where it says "Pokémon rpg" but not so much the quote both however, needs to be a different color. When you make a title font/ quote it needs to contrasting from the background. People want to know where they are. Try White, with a 1 or 2px stroke of black and a black drop shadow. That or make the text color black and make the title BIGGER. It seems like the quote and the title are almost the same size. Dont be afraid to use different sizes.

How to Improve: See above

Overall Rating/10: 6/10 - Not bad. If you take my suggestions itll boost you to a whole different level.

The three mini pictures *sigh*
Good Points:

- You spelled everything right!

Worst Points:

None of the pictures really relate to any of the text that they would be to linked to..

Like in the news...shouldnt you put some sort of newspaper in the background?

The headlines...if you follow my suggestion and put the newspaper in the news picture, try following suit and making a design like a news paper for the picture. Stay away from those vomit flavor colors, and try and fit the sites layout theme.

Besides that its really hard to read the second one. Take the inside glow off.

How to Improve: See Above
Overall Rating/10: 2/10 - needs vast improvement..sorry..

last one...

Teddy Long Signature (?)

Good Points:/b] Like the first one it has a good look. Not the best thing ive ever seen but not the worse. Much like your first one.

Worst Points: Like your first one, you did the same thing with that terrible font, and mixed it into the background too much. Like i said before, titles and quotes should have contrasting colors. Instead of grey..or black...whatever that color is, try white. You will be able to read it much clearer.

Why have his picture in there twice? I like the fact that you have his picture in the left corner but please take that blue glow off of him and change it with something that is going to bring him out more. He is too dark to begin with and putting that blue glow only makes it worse.

If he is the smackdown manager, shouldnt you put the logo of smackdown and wwe's logo in it too? Why not search around the internet for the enterence with the big fist
(or just AIM mesage me at caliberkiller44 and ill give you one i took from smackdown in detroit a few weeks ago)

How to Improve: See Above.
Overall Rating/10: 6/10 - I like it, but it does need something more.

Remember these are only suggestions and im not telling you what to do. These are a good start...well the first and the last one, and could be better if you did take my advice.

If you have any problems or questions, please feel free to IM me on AIM, email me, or pm me.

Thanks for the ideas to improve mate, The three Mini-Sig's were purely made to fit into the site quickly. If the site is succesful i would try again.

I'll fully read the ways to improve later when i get some spare time

Seeing as no-one at all likes my graphics or let alone even cares that i try to make them, Consider this shop closed.

Didn't get 1 request, and no-one (Apart from Zero) Tried to help me.

So sod Graphics, sod posting for god sake...I'll just come here, do my Roleplay and be my own man. If a Mod could please lock this for me?

Give it time. There's a fair amount of competition out there, and not everyone's going to flock to a new graphics shop as soon as it opens. But if you still want me to close it, then I will.

From here on in, I take no REQUESTS. If you seriously want help however, PM me. (Highly Doubt It)

But I will post up my most recent work for ratings so I can improve.
Well here is my latest work: (And if your going to tell me that is a template card, Well DUH!)

Oh my God, stop it! Stop all the freaking angst and feeling sorry for yourself poo. I like you, I do, but not like this. Not when you're all "I highly doubt people will PM me any requests," or "I know my stuff sucks, so shut up!" It's not very smart, it's not very cool, it's just plain annoying.

So please, please, please, please, please, please, stop with all the emo "everybody hates me" poo. Because that's what'll make 'em hate you.

Sorry, but I needed to say that.

Being honest Matt, if anyone hates me... then I am not bothered in the slightest. They Hate me, i hate 'em back.

I just need some time alone and stuff and just then i was merely posting saying that I'm fairly c*** at GFX and that don't bother requesting unless urgent.

If I wanna be depressed then meh? I'm not bothered, Infact, im off to write a short story "A teenage Suicidal" To try and ease the pain.
